Here are some important things to consider before

you do recreational vehicle towing:

• What’s the towing capacity of the towing vehicle?

Be sure you read the tow vehicle manufacturer’s

recommendations.

• How far will you tow? Some vehicles have

restrictions on how far and how long they can tow.

• Do you have the proper towing equipment?

See your dealer or trailering professional for

additional advice and equipment recommendations.

• Is your vehicle ready to be towed? Just as you would

prepare your vehicle for a long trip, you’ll want to

make sure your vehicle is prepared to be towed.

See Before Leaving on a Long Trip on page 4-22.

Dinghy Towing

Notice: Towing an all-wheel-drive vehicle with all

four wheels on the ground, or even with only two of

its wheels on the ground, will damage drivetrain

components. Do not tow an all-wheel-drive vehicle

if any of its wheels will be on the ground.

Your vehicle was not designed to be towed with all of

its wheels on the ground. If you have a two-wheel-drive

vehicle, it can be towed with two of its wheels on

the ground. See “Dolly Towing” following.

If you have an all-wheel-drive vehicle, it cannot be

towed with any of its wheels on the ground. It can

be towed with the car carrier equipment.

Dolly Towing
